Me and Bobby McGee

Me And Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield wipers slappin' time and

Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song

That driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And buddy that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

She was lookin' for the home I hope she'll find

Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

And nothin' left was all she left to me

Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And buddy that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
